2019 Map of The Pines

About this map

The Pines sits within a vast expanse of Minnesota wetlands, marked by the administrative boundary between Lake of the Woods Co and Koochiching Co. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t158n r30w, t158n r29w, t157n r30w, and t157n r29w, which organize this corner of the state's northern wilderness. Transportation is limited to a few specific corridors, including Indian Pines Rd, 71st St SE, and 25th Ave SE, reflecting the area's low-density settlement and heavy reliance on local rural routes. This 2019 survey documents the intricate water-saturated terrain and the sparse human footprint in a region dominated by marshes and forests.
